I ruined two rotary blades yesterday in the frenzy to cut and manipulate fabric. It started as an exercise in composition. What if I tilted this piece and reassembled it with an underlying grid? What happens when I requilt an already quilted surface? What if the fabric joinery is hidden behind ragged edges...sort of like my mood? Does the assemblage of parts becomes more than the original whole?

Sometimes you have to look at things sideways and forget the main road. Casualties happen. Blades can be sharpened.

Join me in 2018 at these workshops

The Along the Horizon show opens on January 16 at the Reece Museum at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City Tennessee. Don't miss this opportunity to see contemporary drawing in multiple mediums. I am honored to be included.
